Narration

Swing in Hamburg» a small big band dedicated to the sound of Goodman, Dorsey, and Miller. You play - only - for themselves, every Friday and once for the audience of in Germany level.
Walter is their composer and arranger; at the time, he writes his doctoral thesis in law.
Peter, the guitarist, is a sociologist. He works as an Assistant at the University. Leisure is swing time - for him for years, as long as he can remember.
Music connects you, the students, merchants, and technicians. The bassist is a skilled coachbuilders, but he works as a caretaker and does - in the heater unit - not to disturb the neighbours.
The drummer is Creative Director in the advertising. His job: To ideas and To find and to translate into film spots.
And they are all amateur musicians along the way without longing for the big show. Swing is just fun - and that.

On the Elbe near Hamburg, the nuclear power plant was Stade, which is one of the largest in Europe. The reactor operates under thick concrete covers, which could withstand even a plane crash. The heating power of the 157 fuel elements corresponds to the 3 1/2 million tons of coal.
Only 30 million marks were issued for the safety of the power plant; Although the escape routes to the bunkers are marked, but a complex control system makes the power plant to a place without risk.
Two technicians in the central control room enough to drive the power plant. Measuring squads monitor its functions All the time.
The electronics allows to repair errors in seconds replacing the system.
The capacity of the turbines that are powered by 56 tons of uranium is enough to power the city of Hamburg. But the superlatives of technology have little inventory: new, large power plants in Northern Germany are already under construction, because the last arguments against nuclear plants are refuted: the Elbe takes no damage, the warming is equal to zero. Berlin has become a major Congress city for the home and abroad.
The German Trade Union Federation - representative of 7 million German workers - announced in Berlin on his ninth Congress his new action programme: "trying to impose, from outside the trade unions, that ye should do and that are not, to reject in a free society. We are committed to the democratization of economy and society. In this sense, I declare the ninth ordinary Congress of the Union of the German Trade Union Confederation open."
The applause of the 450 delegates was not only its President, Heinz Oscar Vetter, but also Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt, because many socio-political goals of the Federal Government are also sought by the German Trade Union Confederation. This umbrella organization of German workers, in which 16 largely independent unions are summarized, demanded further improvements for the position of workers in the company.
For years now, the DGB maintains an open exchange of views with unionists from East and West. Visitors from 60 Nations could convince himself how workers could work effectively with the company, when they are joined together in an organization that includes virtually all areas of the world of work.
"We are in the vote» who wants to follow the recommendation, I beg the cards show."
Thank you Very much. The cross-check. Abstention. Unanimously so decided."
Problems of environmental protection, health policy and housing were the discussion. They can be caused only Heinz Oscar Vetter assured, if the DGB as a Union representing the entire workforce in the Federal Republic. "All unions actually have the same root. They are born from the self-defense situation, where the workforce was in the class societies, but German unions have taken a historical path, which allowed them to be under 45 to a Union. I think it is necessary, if one wants To find a judgment, remember about the effectiveness of various trade union organisations in Europe that carry all their national traits, and are happy as we here in the Federal Republic, to be able to preserve and perpetuate our unity, as other unions in Europe will certainly also to the conclusion that only the unity over the belief across the true strength will be the workforce."

Nothing for people with prejudices, so you could suggest to the protest. The documenta 5, one of the world's most important art exhibitions will not be run through. She must be drawn up. The documenta in Kassel - once the Museum for 100 days, 1972: a hundred days event - awakening in a totally strange world and yet a departure into pictorial worlds that surround us every day.
Parallel imagery: photographic realism, images and realities, art and kitsch, which helps documenta 5 see learn.
Art is superfluous! A provocation of citizens on Sunday morning.
Art is redundant - maybe the only phrase most reject the documenta artists closed. -Art is everything, also means the common theory - if an artist is No more brings to the exhibition as himself.
A strange world that is but our. Seeing and thinking.
The everyday contrasted "Schizophrenic" the individual mythologies and the works.
Documenta 5 - who has seen them all, knows that A lot has happened since then, as hung on the walls of yet Picasso's.

Glider pilots call it the coronation of their sport: Alpine gliding. Something for experts, however, because the attraction to conquer mountain landscapes, almost silently from the top brings an increased risk.
Despite a height of 3,000 meters: The Alpine swift flies always near the bottom, because he needs the updrafts tightly at the top. First commandment: keep even the most adventurous gorges, a place to land in the eye.
The head of the only German Alpine gliding school can't complain about lack of interest. More than 400 students To want learn this year, sailing to discovering the Alps from the air.
